A great adventure made extra-ordinary by the crew.

The crew are absolutely hilarious but incredibly talented and knowledgeable and really make the experience. Special shout outs to our crew - captain boom boom and smoothie for making the trip. We saw a few turtles in the lagoon, snorkelling was super fun with colourful corals and lots of different small fish. Lunch is on an island in the lagoon featuring a delicious bbq. Unfortunately the weather was a bit windy so our time on the island was a bit chilly but otherwise a fantastic tour. On the island there are also a few cultural performances which are hilarious and awesome. Snorkels and flippers are included. Need to bring your own towel/reef shoes.

Great day out!

We booked on Viator and made our way to Muri Lagoon. Found out late, we could have booked a bus to collect us for a reasonable fee. It was a rainy, gray day, but nothing was going to stop the fun! We were quickly checked in, boarded the board and our “Captains” kept us entertained for the duration of the day. They made jokes, sang songs, found lots of ways to engage us. People scuba dived then we went to the island for a BBQ lunch and some more entertainment. We then had an hour to swim, scuba dive some more or just relax. It was a great day of laughs, entertainment, and meeting new people. Highly recommend!

Perfect day out 👌🙏🐢🐠 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Today we went out on Captain Tama’s Lagoon Cruize & Bbq. This was truely an exceptionally good day out!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Well done to the crew - we had so many laughs from beginning to end. My husband enjoyed his snorkel - we got lucky and saw some turtles 🐢 and hundreds of beautiful fish 🐠. The meal was fabulous too! I think my favourite part was the fun between the crew and their fantastic sense of humour. Well done - you all worked hard on the day to entertain us and make sure the day was a huge success!!! 👏 Definitely recommend!!! Suitable for all ages. Take a bit of cash to tip - they truely deserve it! Thanks team 💕 🙏

Barbecue

In reality, you can't call it a lagoon cruise, but a lagoon barbecue. They take you snorkeling a bit on the corals and then to a small island 5 minutes of sailing from the pier. Fun guys, music, and a few performances. Barbecue with delicious grilled yellowfin tuna. For the price we paid for the whole family, it's fine.

A must do experience while in Raro

This was a highlight of our family reunion (10of us) in Raro Even though the weather was chilly and windy we had a great snorkel( water was warmish) and entertained the whole time by the crew. Lunch on the island was amazing, as was the show - which everyone enjoyed. After that, there was time for another snorkel- which we opted out off as getting a bit cold, but enjoyed exploring the island. Highly recommend!!
